Perhaps e-mailing an update of their qualification criteria for their vendors to all customers might have a positive effect. Usually the publishing of proactive product/service improvement bulletins is well received by the public.

“AMK Products Guide to Ford Fasteners 1955 - 73” is an excellent and detailed reference.

I find that taking pictures before disassembly is also very helpful in the reassembly process.

It is encouraging to see that a few businesses still value Integrity over bottom line. That is becoming rare today.

The turn down exhaust tips were likely a carry over from the Boss 302. I might be the only one that likes the "all business" look of the straight rear valence and dual exhaust with turn downs. :)

Not much published on top loader hp capability. The only number I saw was 450HP.

Here is a pix of my 71 351c linkage to a toploader 3sp. It should be the same as the 72 6cyl. I hope this helps. Best Regards, Jim

Welcome from NJ. You have a beautiful Mach1. Enjoy working on it.

Yes, they really were the “good old days”,

Using a vacuum hose as dummy coil wire and a removable post battery switch will usually slow the wannabe thief down.

I fabricated a bracket and fished it thru the cross member. Not easy to do, but very strong and close to OEM.

Those look like the same clutch parts that I have. I also have the RAM aftermarket flywheel and an aluminum bellhousing from a 1972 Mustang with a 302 and 3 speed toploader. I had no interference with the aluminum bellhousing, which is the same one used on the Boss 302. Not sure about...

If I remember correctly, the speedo driven gears are different for the automatic vs manual transmission you might want to check on this as well.

I believe it was standard on all 73 Mustangs only.
